The artist is actually a major figure in one of the major post-WWII art movements.
I have noticed that you and Emil don’t like to give more information about the artist. :wink5:
It is always a good way to learn about artists……..and keep a tread moving.
The artist is considered by critics and historians to be one of the early works of pop art.
The artist was awarded the William and Noma Copley Foundation Award, 1960; the John Moores Contemporary Painting Prize, 1960; the Talens Prize International, 1970; the Leone d’Oro for his exhibition in the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, 1993; the Arnold Bode Prize at Documenta X, Kassel, 1997; and the Max Beckmann Prize for painting, 2006. He was made a Member of the Order of the Companions of Honour (CH) by Queen Elizabeth II in 2000.

I will agree, that there are times when participants wait too long to post clues, usually because we forget.
I notice you tend to unload with numerous clues up front. In this case, it would seem that you know the answer. I will hold off myself on answering this one, in hopes that some of the other past participants might take a shot.

I have to apologize for my impatience. I enjoy learning about new artists…….. I will be quiet. :wink5:
Still no guesses? A major English Pop artist. According to some histories he is credited with having created the first work of Pop Art... or at least the work from which the title of the movement was taken.
